[Verse 1]
Religion is a breeding ground
Where the devil's work is deeply found
With teeth as sharp as cathedral spires
Slowly sinking in

[Refrain]
God knows that I've been naive
But I think it makes him proud of me
Now it's so hard to separate
My disappointment from his Name

[Verse 2]
The shadows stretch behind the truth
Where stained glass offers broken clues
And fear ties knots and pulls them tight
And it leaves us paralyzed

[Verse 3]
But in the end, such tired words will rest
The truth will reroute the narrow things they've said
The marionette strings will lower and untie
And out of the ashes, love will be realized

[Refrain]
'Cause God knows that we've been naive
And a bit nearsighted to say the least
Its broken glass at children's feet
That gets swept aside unexpectedly
